Miami Express is the meal plan for students residing in Heritage Commons, living off campus, or attending one of our regional campuses. This meal plan is designed specifically to give students the flexibility of being able to cook at home or eat in one of our many dining locations.
Meal Plan Pricing
Each student has a different schedule and unique dining habits. That is why we offer a wide range of pricing options for the Miami Express Meal Plan. Once you select a price level, your bursar account will be charged that amount and then the funds will be added to your meal plan account, accessible via your Miami ID. This meal plan offers various levels to fit your needs.
Miami Express Benefits and Discounts
- Convenient dining locations near classrooms and campus libraries
- Many nutritious choices
- Meal plan purchases are tax-exempt—save 6.5%
- Save time with various grab-and-go selections
- An easy to use declining meal plan balance
Sign Up For Your Express Plan
Heritage Commons students can use the online housing system to sign up for an Express Meal Plan.
Off-campus students can add money to an Express Plan at any time by following the instructions on the One Stop website.
Using Your Express Plan
The Miami Express Meal Plan works like a debit account; students have a balance that is accessed through their Miami ID card. Your meal plan is accepted at all Miami University dining locations. As you purchase beverages, meals and snacks throughout the semester your balance decreases. At the end of each year unspent meal plan dollars will automatically transfer to a Miami Express plan for the next year. Meal plan dollars are non-refundable.
